James Warren Rutherford (22 August 1875 – 27 February 1939) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in McKay's Corners in Kent County, Ontario, becoming a physician and surgeon.
Rutherford attended Chatham Collegiate Institute, the University of Toronto then University College London for postgraduate studies.[1]
He was first elected to Parliament at the Kent riding in the 1926 general election after an unsuccessful campaign there in 1925. Rutherford was re-elected in 1930 and 1935.
During the 1935 campaign, Rutherford sustained a fracture in the neck area after his car overturned near Ridgetown, Ontario. His vehicle travelled on loose gravel which led his vehicle into a ditch. Rutherford was unable to continue his medical practice after this, although his injuries healed to a partial extent.[2]
On 27 February 1939, Rutherford died before completing his term in the 18th Canadian Parliament, survived by his wife, a son and daughter.[2]
